Break It Down: How Mario Williams can help the Bills
Mario Williams caught plenty of people off-guard by making Buffalo his first stop after becoming a free agent Tuesday. He opened even more eyes when he never left.
Williams' addition, plus the team's imminent switch from a 3-4 to 4-3 defense (a more natural fit for Williams) gives the Bills one of the most imposing young lines in the NFL. With 2011 No. 3 overall pick Marcell Dareus and Kyle Williams on the interior, and Mario Williams and Chris Kelsay outside, offensive lines will have their hands full.
Let's take a look at why as we Break It Down:
Remember when Peyton Manning was the Colts' quarterback? Well, a large part of his success with Indianapolis came because of his decision-making and ability to fire off passes in a hurry.
As we'll see in the next few photos, that quickness did not do much to negate Williams. The Houston examples below all come from 2010 or earlier, when the Texans were in their 4-3 defense — Williams picked up five sacks in five games last season after a switch to the 3-4, so he ought to be fine either way in Buffalo.
Williams lined up on the right side on this play, with three Houston defensive linemen stacked on the line:
The Texans brought a linebacker on a blitz, leaving Williams with a one-on-situation on the outside. This is a recipe for disaster just about any time offensive lines try it against Williams in straight-drop situations, and you can see why below.
Using just a speed rush, Williams blows around Indy's left tackle and helps bring Manning down.
Later in the same game, Williams again found himself with a man-on-man scenario with Manning in the shotgun and Houston showing a four-man rush. This time, the Texans opted not to bring extra pressure.
But with the memory of that early Williams blow-by fresh in his mind, Colts left tackle Charlie Johnson cheated outside to try to cut off Williams.
The problem is, Williams is far more than a one-trick pony. As the Colts set up a play-fake inside and Johnson slid to his left, Williams stepped to the inside with a powerful and explosive swim move.
This didn't result in a sack but did force Manning to throw the ball away.
One more quick look at Williams' ability to fire off the ball and create problems. In the picture below, Williams is about to combine with a teammate on a sack of San Diego's Philip Rivers.
You'll notice the blue line, showing where the ball was snapped from, runs across the 33. Rivers has dropped seven yards deep to the 26. Williams has taken his route even farther to the outside, finally turning back upfield at the 24.
By most accounts, this would have to be considered a pretty solid job of blocking for San Diego's right tackle — he's taken advantage of Williams' attempted speed rush and run him way upfield. What must drive offensive linemen crazy, though, can be seen there. Williams has so much athleticism that it's almost impossible to completely eliminate him from a play. Even as deep in the backfield as he was there, he managed to reverse course, get around his blocker and harass the QB.
What's all this mean for Buffalo? Well, Williams' elite ability to get into the backfield is obvious. But in addition to the 53 career sacks he's recorded, Williams also sets the table for his teammates by drawing massive amounts of attention.
Case in point: The play below against Jacksonville. Williams lined up on the left side of Houston's defensive line and the Texans brought four rushers.
The Texans ran a pretty basic stunt with Williams diving inside and the defensive tackle looping around him to the outside.
But you can see in the boxed frame what Williams can do by changing his approach — three of Jacksonville's five linemen drive inside to pick him up, freeing up Williams' teammate to swing wide. On top of that, Houston's two other D-linemen wind up in a pair of one-on-one situations.
Jacksonville QB David Garrard wound up seeing pressure from three linemen. None of them was Williams, but his presence laid the groundwork.
That type of impact plays right into Buffalo's hands, especially if it goes to a 4-3 defense as expected.
If we look back at what the Bills did up front in 2011, you'll notice that they have plenty of athletes already. Here, they're in a dime defense with a traditional four-man front (two DTs and two DEs) with Dareus and Dwan Edwards inside and Kelsay to the left.
Kelsay gets upfield and takes away Tim Tebow's backside lane, while Dareus occupies a pair of blockers, allowing Edwards to collapse the pocket from the middle.
Imagine Williams as the fourth lineman here, coming from the right one-on-one. Good luck with that.
Teams are going to have to decide how to deal with all of these pass-rushing forces. Do you double Williams and play one-on-one on the interior? Use a tight end or running back to chip Williams on the outside and take away a receiving option? Oh, and what if Buffalo blitzes?
All of these scenarios are nightmares for offensive coordinators.
Our last play again sees the Bills with four up front, but this is a more traditional 3-4 setup with Dareus at nose tackle, two ends and linebacker Arthur Moats coming off the right edge.
This time, Edwards shot into the middle of the line and carried two offensive linemen with him. Moats blew past the left tackle, forcing Miami's running back to help him.
And that left Dareus with just one overmatched blocker to swing around. He did so, forcing Matt Moore out of the pocket. In Buffalo's revamped 4-3, you're basically substituting Mario Williams for Moats on this play — and it's hard to imagine that attack being less productive.
The AFC East and any other foe Buffalo hits in 2012 is going to have its hands full — that's obvious, because the Bills had a solid pass rush to begin with, and Williams is as sensational as they come at that aspect of the game.

Jawbone Jambox has the urban hip-hop/ster style and simple Blue-Tooth functionality that has made it a favorite of ours, but it has always lacked the umph in bass and lower mids. Well that has now changed.
Jawbone introduces the Big Jambox. {MSRP: $300} With more powerful precision-tuned drivers and dual passive bass radiators, the one complaint, about the sound, has been addressed. But that's not all. The new Big Jambox has more features than the original. Not only can you connect one Blue-Tooth device, but now you can multi-stream from several Blue-Tooth devices. And with the bigger size comes a bigger battery. Up to 15hrs of continuos play. And with a compatiable device, we are assuming an i' something or other, you get a power meter so you'll know before the Big Jambox runs out of juice. A built in 360 degree microphone for live streaming of multi-location meetings. The Big Jambox also has a USB connection, 3.5mm jack, on/off switch and power/charging port.

Losses by the Atlanta Falcons and Andy Landers's Lady Bulldogs on Sunday left the Georgia faithful in a bad mood, but there is some good news for Bulldog Nation this Monday morning.
Mark Fox's Georgia Bulldogs hung tough with Mississippi State for 31 minutes of Saturday's SEC men's basketball game, but the Red and Black ultimately fell to 0-2 in conference play in a double-digit setback.
Samuel L. Jackson paid a visit to Athens on Thursday to spend some time with the Georgia Bulldogs. How can this be anything other than a good sign for the 2012 college football season?
Mark Richt has indicated his willingness to recruit Penn State football players for Georgia. How unusual is it for the Bulldogs to sign athletes from the Keystone State?
Georgia Bulldogs athletic director Greg McGarity acted decisively when firing Jay Clark and replacing him with Danna Durante, so why is he failing to do likewise regarding David Perno, Foley Field, and the Red and Black baseball program?
Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity has accepted Jay Clark's resignation as head coach of the Gym Dogs. While regrettable, the move was necessary, and McGarity passed his first major test as the Bulldogs' athletic director.
Greg McGarity is fighting to preserve an eight-game SEC football schedule and the Georgia Bulldogs' rivalry with the Auburn Tigers, while the Plainsmen may be about to make a coaching move pleasing to Bulldog Nation. Find out the latest in Monday morning's edition of "Dawg Bites."
Mark Richt inked a top-five recruiting class on National Signing Day, but what are the chances that this year's group of highly-touted signees will turn the Georgia Bulldogs into champions in the 2012 college football season?
Dawg Sports looks at all the noteworthy news regarding the Georgia Bulldogs, in football, recruiting, basketball, tennis, soccer, and swimming and diving in Wednesday morning's edition of "Dawg Bites."
It is all but official, based on talking to someone with knowledge of the schedule talks, that Georgia will not play Alabama next year. A trip to Missouri early in the season (probably Sept. 8, the second week) will replace the previously-scheduled trip to South Carolina, which will be moved to midseason (probably Oct. 5, the sixth week). And it's not expected that much if anything will change with the rest of Georgia's original 2012 schedule. The four non-conference games are expected to stay where they were.Seth Emerson brings us the very latest. Go 'Dawgs!

14.36 Square Pendant Chandelier
Price: $16,560.00
+ Free Shipping100% Price Match
Related Info
Design by Omer Arbel.
Made in Vancouver, Canada by Bocci.
Unlike most contemporary lighting, the 14 Series pendants are visually quite subtle - like many tiny candles encased in floating spheres of water. The light interacts with the imperfections and bubbles of the cast glass to make a visually rich halo of light. Cast glass is an organic process - imperfect by nature - so each piece produced is unique.
The 14.36 Square Pendant Chandelier is comprised of 36 cast glass pendants connected with braided steel coaxial cables to a square white powder coated canopy. Each individual pendant is an articulated, seamed, cast glass sphere with a frosted cylindrical void which houses a 10 watt xenon or 1.5 watt LED lamp. The cast glass is available in the standard clear and can also be ordered in a rich smoked grey. The 14.36 Square can be easily tiled with other 14.36 Squares to create the illusion of a single massive chandelier.
The 14.36 Square is equipped with "Headphone jack" hardware, allowing the canopy to be mounted on its own, and then the pendants can be individually "plugged in".
Pendants CANNOT be shortened in the field. When ordering please specify the longest height (10 feet max) and the shortest height. Heights are measured from the ceiling to the bottom of the sphere. The remaining pendants will be at random heights between the maximum and the minimum.
Material(s): Cast Glass, Blown Borosilicate Glass
Lamp Type: XENON, HALOGEN, LED
Listing: UL, CSA
Instructions: Click to download instructions.
Model(s): 14.36 Square
Omer Arbel trained in the late 1990s as an architect. He apprenticed under Enric, Miralles, John and Patricia Parkau and Peter Busby, among others; and was centrally involved in several successful high profile building projects and international design competitions.
In 2003, Arbel founded a multi-disciplinary design studio focused on blurring the boundaries between the fields of architecture, industrial design, and materials research. It has been said of Arbel's practice that it's industrial design works, in both limited edition and mass produced formats, appear to be motivated by larger scale concepts which can only be considered architectural. Conversely, critics have noted that the practices' architectural works appear to be inspired by an obsession with the object, the possibilities implicit in the process of making, and the intrinsic quality of materials.
In 2005, Arbel became Bocci's creative director. His conceptual approach, now fueled by an infrastructure for prototyping, fine craft, manufacturing and distribution, has given birth to a collection of conceptually driven lighting, furniture, electrical accessories and objects, which have since gained significant presence and impact within the design community.See other lights/products from Omer Arbel

Tweeting, Instagraming, Liking, Snapchatting, are all the rage in brand strategy. We're telling companies to implement strategies to attract the digital consumer, but do we have this all wrong? I was a little surprised to read about Amstel's new app and overall ad campaign of unplugging, but with more thinking, it's actually brilliant. What drinker is going to say no to a free beer?
See how social media influences shoppers
The new app, developed by Next Digital Creative Agency (Next-DC) and only available in Bulgaria, challenges users to not use their phone for eight hours, and if they succeed they get a free beer. At first I thought it would be a simple task, but then I remembered how naked I feel without my phone. Checking email, looking at Twitter mentions, Facebook chatting are all instinctual gestures when the notifications pop up. But when times are rough and a challenge seems like fun, it would be great to do something for get a free beer.
My concern is if the challenge will get interrupted if you receive a phone call. Amstel has also done other unplugging scenarios for their campaign such as waiting in front of a vending machine for three minutes to get a free beer and locking up patrons of bars' cellphones while they're at the bar.
See how different shoppers are around the world here
I wonder if North Americans are up to a challenge like this and how big a campaign like this could get here. What would consumers do if they couldn't tweet/tell all their friends about such a challenge?

The 2014 Felid TAG mid-year meeting will be held at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Virginia. Meeting information will be posted soon.
In 1990, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) developed a system for examining and managing the conservation and management needs of groups of related species, or taxa. These groups are called TAGs, short for Taxon Advisory Groups. Examples of some basic taxonomic groups for which AZA TAGs exist are amphibians, antelopes, penguins, and marine fish. Each TAG consists of representatives from AZA-member institutions, as well as individuals with special expertise, such as AZA Species Survival Plan (SSP) coordinators and studbook keepers.

Omnitty is a curses-based program that allows you to log into several machines simultaneously and interact with them, selectively directing input to individual machines or groups of selected machines. You can run both line-oriented and screen-oriented in the target machines, because it has built- in terminal emulation capability. When the window is large enough, Omnitty also displays a "summary area" for each machine, in which it shows what the latest output from the machine was, so you can have an idea of what is going on in each machine.
Thinux is a thin-client server on a live CD. It boots a network of diskless computers to automatically start an application such as a Web browser. Each thin client machine acts as a cluster node to share its processing and memory resources with each other to take the load off the server. It is a turnkey solution that does not change nor rely on your existing systems to run. By booting from a removable CD, it does not lock-in the user so it is convenient to test. It is ideal for any organizations that require large deployment of software automatically and cost effectively.

It can make a statement bringing out the powerful persona of the subject itself, like here, or put in focus the soft warmth of the subject, like here.
And, this Strawberry Buttermilk Cake, which, is our subject for the day. Such a simple, no fuss cake that belies the depth of flavor in each bite and the happiness that it can bring. Makes me forget the eccentricities of the day and lets me just relax and savour each bite juiced up with plump, ripe, sweet Spring strawberries.
Yes, I think the profile is the best way to capture its charm!
Somehow, it fills up the regretably short weekends and I have not really had time to cook or bake elaborate stuff. So, we have been enjoying simple meals that don't take a lot of time, like this South Indian stew, salads, breakfasts for dinner... We play monopoly... I usually win. I like that.. :)
In between, I managed this simple sweet bite. If you have noticed, there has not been too many sweet posts this year. No, not a healthy drive.. I believe in eating everything moderation. It's just that, I have not tried a whole lot of new stuff but this one needed a mention now...
So, have a great week, everyone! One day this week, make it better by enjoying a slice of this cake, or sharing it wihth
Strawberry Buttermilk Cake
(Inspired by Gourmet)
Yield: one 8 inch cake
Prep time: 15 min
Cook Time: 20 - 25 min
Total time: 40 min
1 cup flour
4.5 T butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar + 2 T sugar for the meringue
1/2 tsp lemon zest
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla paste
2 egg yolks
1 egg white
1/2 cup well-shaken buttermilk
1/4 tsp salt
chopped fresh strawberries, handful or as you like
Add the egg yolks and beat well. At low speed, mix in flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with buttermilk, mixing until just combined. Set aside and whip the egg whites till frothy. Gently drizzle in the sugar and continue whipping until the meringue holds stiff peaks.
Fold about a 1/3 of the meringue into the batter to loosen it. Gently fold the remaining whites just until you no longer see any white streaks, about 25 strokes. Spoon batter into cake pan, smoothing top.
Scatter strawberry pieces over the top. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, until cake is golden and a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack and cool to warm, 10 to 15 minutes more.
Serve with fresh sweetened yogurt for dessert or mint tea.

"God's will is what I would choose if I knew all the facts."
"God's will is what I would choose if I knew all the facts."
I grew up near Washington D.C. and my faith journey began at a very young age when I began contemplating questions about the meaning of life. Blaise Pascal once said, "there is a god-shaped vacuum in the heart of every man, and only God can fill it." As I immerged into my teen years, I remember feeling the truth of his words more consciously than ever. This resulted in my attending religious services several times each week, while praying and studying the Bible voraciously every day. Finally on July 23, 1983, I committed my life to Christ as a result of seeing His love lived out through the life of my Aunt Cindy.
Almost immediately, I had a newfound desire to study the Scriptures so I could better understand the character and ways of God. That God-given passion eventually led me to pursue two separate Ph.D. programs (in Biblical & Theological Studies) and I have served as a full-time undergraduate professor of Bible & Theology since 1996, joining the faculty at Multnomah in 2008.
I thank God every day for the privilege of being at Multnomah, where I can serve alongside hundreds of other likeminded fellow-servants of Christ who desire to know God through a deeper understanding of His Word. I am an ardent enthusiast for God's plan of unity through diversity in the body of Christ and my particular areas of research expertise are the twentieth-century American Fundamentalist, Church Growth and Pentecostal-Charismatic movements.
It was my privilege to serve as lead pastor for 8 years at Long Lake Community Bible Church (WI) and as interim pastor at both the Northwest Church of God (IL) and currently at Chinese Faith Baptist Church (OR). I also enjoy speaking frequently at churches, camps, and conferences within a wide diversity of denominational and non-denominational contexts.
Outside of the classroom, I enjoy music composition (having published approximately 40 worship songs), playing and watching basketball (almost exclusively watching these days), taking nightly walks with the love of my life (Jocelyn), and spending time with my 8 wonderful children (2 boys and 6 girls).

Button University Lesson 1: Instructions For Starting a Button Making Project
Throughout the years, so many of our wonderful customers have asked us for information, tips, and tutorials regarding button making and how to use their newly purchased button machine. We are always willing and excited to answer any question whether over the phone or though email, but also have made it our goal to give you online access to as many resources as we can provide.
One of these resources is Button University. We introduced Button University in an earlier post, and now we are setting out to provide all of our loyal blog readers with the same information that our website and storefront customers receive over at the main ABM site.
So with that in mind, let's dive right into your first lesson from Button University: step-by-step instructions for starting a button making project.
Step-by-Step Instructions: How to Start Your Button Making Project
The first thing to understand about making buttons is that…it's easy! Seriously. Don't be intimidated. The button machines don't bite unless they're hungry, and we will only ship them to you once they are fully fed. : – )
All joking aside though, there are only four things you need to start a button making project:
- A button making machine
- A paper cutter
- Some button making supplies
- The right kind of paper for button making
Then, once you have the supplies, there are only three steps after that. (See…the further along you go, the fewer steps you have, and the easier it gets!)
- Design your buttons – this can be done by hand or on a computer using ready-made button design graphics. Plus, you can make buttons from graphics that you cut out from printed material like books, photos, and magazines. (Of course, if you plan to sell the buttons on a massive scale, just make sure you are not selling it with copyrighted material on it).
- Cut out your graphics using a circle cutter.
- Place the button supplies (shell, back, graphic, and mylar) into their appropriate dies. Then just pull the handle twice and you're done! (We also provide button making how-to videos and step-by-step button making instructions over at the main site.)
And guess what? Only 2 steps after that! (See…from 4, to 3, to 2…easy as could be.)
- Figure out what you are going to do with your new buttons. Fundraiser? Button Business? Campaign promotion? Church promotion?
- Then plot your next button making rendezvous.
Stay tuned for Button University Lesson 2, where we will tell you everything you need to know about the various button sizes that you can make based on the specifications of your button making project.

Oct. 14, 1927 — March 31, 2013
Joseph "Joe" Wilson, 85, made his way to the Lord on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2013. Born on Oct. 14, 1927, in Blount County, Tenn., to Farley and Sallie Wilson, he was a born musician with a special gift for singing and playing the guitar and a variety of other instruments. He will always be remembered for his love of God, family, friends, his country and his music.
Joe was preceded in death by his son, Douglas Wilson; daughter, Virginia Farias; and third wife, Esther Wilson. He is survived by his half-brother, Rex Shields; half-sister, Viva Quinton; first wife, Ingrid Wilson; second wife, Beryl Wilson; son, Patrick and his wife, Rhonda and children, Conner and Chad; grandchildren, Robert Farias and his wife, Tina and children, Christopher and Michael; Joseph Farias and his wife, Sarah; Erica Garcia and her husband, Juan and children, Dianna and Lillian; and his companion, Yvonne Griffin.
A memorial service honoring Joe will be held at Sacramento Valley National Cemetery in Dixon on Friday, April 12, at 10 a.m., followed by a celebration of his life at 831 Fieldstone Court in Folsom at 1 p.m. Donations may be made to Snowline Hospice of El Dorado County, Calif. (call 916-817-2338 for information).
Joe lived in Ohio and Tennessee with his wife Esther Wilson for 27 years. Esther had been his childhood sweetheart and the two met up later in life. At this time Joe became step-father to Esther's three children and their spouses. Joy and Dick Conley, Ted and Natalie Peters and Bill and Shirley Kittle. He also enjoyed the love of 7 grand children, Kristen, Matthew, Heather, Jeremy, Jenna, Michael, Daniel and their spouses. He also enjoyed his great grandchildren Hannah and Heather Huskey, Henry and Diana Moseley, Hannah,Luke and Jaxon Jenkins. His life was full and rich with family until he lost his loving wife in 2008. We all understood why he needed to move back to California to be with his other family, but we all missed him very much. He is sadly missed in Tennessee and Ohio.Reply |

Bentley signed an executive amendment today seeking a two-year hold on tax credits and scholarships created under the Alabama Accountability Act, which the Legislature passed in February.
The Accountability Act would offer tax credits of about $3,500 to parents of students zoned for "failing" schools if they move their children to non-failing public schools or private schools. State school officials have not yet released a list of schools deemed to be failing.
The Accountability Act sparked criticism from teachers' groups and some school administrators because of its potential impact on public schools — which are funded by income and sales taxes — and a seeming lack of clarity about what constitutes a "failing school." Some school districts also said they didn't have room to accept students who would transfer under the Accountability Act.
Last week, the Legislature passed a bill, HB658, designed to address some of those concerns. The governor has yet to sign or veto the bill. Under state law, the governor can return a bill to lawmakers with executive amendment — changes that lawmakers must make if they hope to get the governor's signature.
Bentley's office released a statement Wednesday announcing that he would issue executive amendments calling for a two-year delay in implementing the tax credits. That two-year delay would have to be approved by the Legislature on Monday — the last day of its 2013 session — in order to make HB658 state law.
The statement quotes Bentley saying he was seeking the delay in order to give failing schools time to improve. He also said it was the fiscally responsible thing to do; the state is still trying to repay more than $400 million borrowed from the state's Rainy Day Trust Fund, money that must be repaid out of the state's education budget by the end of fiscal 2015.
"If the Legislature accepts my executive amendment, we can help schools improve while also helping ensure the state meets its financial obligations," the statement quotes Bentley as saying. "I believe this is the most fiscally-responsible approach."
In a statement released shortly after Bentley's announcement, the Alabama Education Association asked why Bentley didn't simply scrap the Accountability Act altogether.
"We agree that this is a horrible mistake for Alabama families and our public schools," AEA executive director Henry Mabry said in a prepared statement. "But the Governor's two-year moratorium begs the question, how can a policy that is wrong today be right in two years?"
State Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh, R-Anniston, said he was "disappointed" that the governor chose to add amendments to the bill. Marsh said he was consulting with other members of the Senate Republican caucus to gague whether they'd support the governor's changes.
"I've already talked to some of the caucus members," Marsh said. "Right now, the opinions are mixed."
State officials have estimated the cost of the program at anywhere between $30 million and $70 million in the first year. If Bentley's two-year delay were approved, the state would likely have that money on hand to repay the Rainy Day Fund, which some Republicans have said should be a priority in the state budget.
However, one of those Republicans, Sen. Trip Pittman of Daphne, said Wednesday that he'd rather see the tax credits made available now.
"I think it's important to go ahead and implement the Accountability Act," Pittman said. "This is about kids in failing schools, and it's something we need to deal with."
Anniston City Schools superintendent Joan Frazier said she welcomed the idea of a two-year delay.
"The delay is a healthy option in that it gives us a chance to examine the effect of a law that was put together pretty quickly," Frazier said.
Frazier said she did not know whether any Anniston school will be on the "failing" list. State school officials have said the Accountability Act, as originally passed, would likely place about 135 schools on the list statewide. Under a new definition in HB658, school officials have said, the number of schools on the list would likely be lower than 75.
The Accountability Act is already law, and HB658 would change that law. If the Legislature accepts Bentley's amendments Monday, the two-year delay would go into effect on Bentley's signing of the bill. If the Legislature rejects Bentley's changes, the tax credits would still be in place, without a two-year delay.
"In the worst-case scenario, we've still got the act we passed," Marsh said.

HORRIBLE. AVOID THE PUNKS AND THUGS!! – Never in my life have I gone into any place of business and been treated with such abuse!! Anyone who spends money there is out of his/her mind!
Worth Checking Out – From the outside you think its going to be a dank dive bar, but once you get in it's filled with giant TVs, marble bar and friendly ladies.
I had Jose's fresh Tamales and burritos and they were great. Table over had the BBQ which I sampled and loved.
Cool frosty mini-mountain tap pours coldest beer I've ever had. When I was there $1 drafts were the special from 6pm until ?
Go upstairs, and if its not raining, enjoy the music and the food with great views of the Flatirons. Come with friends, or find some there.
Heard it has a line out the door for the dancing after 11pm.
Eclectic sophistication amidst the brewpubs of downtown Boulder. – In Short
Between the microbreweries and taverns of Boulder, the Foundry offers a more metropolitan atmosphere with DJ's and live music. The crowd combines college students with working professionals of all ages. Pool players can enjoy 11 regulation size pool tables and at least five nights a week features live music starting at 10pm. A glass-enclosed smoking offers a retreat for smokers and eliminates the smoky-lounge feel in the rest of the bar.
if u like to dance – If you're a citygirl or boy, and thirsty for something hip and trendy in Boulder - The Foundry is a sweet place to be on Thursday nites. The DJ plays pretty awesome hiphop and you can get your groove on. The fun really starts at around 11pm. The bartenders here are the best!
Admittedly it is a yuppie bar, but has a nice cross between laid-back and stylish.
Rooftop! – Just checked out the new rooftop deck. Finally, a great view in Boulder with a full bar. Had dinner (the food is simple but fresh and good) and was surprised to hear live music up there! Met some friends and played pool downstairs, and got to hear another band, no cover! They have the nicest pool tables in town - best variety of things to do in town. One-stop shopping downtown for all my entertainment needs. Gotta check out the Jazz upstairs on Sunday.
At Least it had a Cool Fishtank – This place just plain sucks. Too many yuppies squeezed into a bar the size of a sardine can! The bar was 6 deep so you couldn't even get a drink, every pool table in the place was taken the whole night, and the size of the dance floor was as big as a paper towel. Definitely not a laid back atmostphere...too stuffy and trendy. At least it had a cool fishtank to gaze at while waiting in line for a half an hour for a $6 beer in Boulder's meat market.
The most pretentious place in Boulder... – In a town of pretentious bars, this is the worst. Its a scene, not a bar. If you like to dress up and try to look cool, and wish to surround yourself with hollow people who like to do the same, then this is your place. Not worth the effort -- go to the Pearl Street Pub and Cellar (about 30 seconds away) instead.

The Orlando Sentinel has ranked all 125 Football Bowl Subdivision teams in the country. The Sentinel staff will take a closer look at a new team daily, counting backward from No. 125 to our projected No. 1 team.
Today at No. 62: Ball State
Coach: Pete Lembo (15-10, third season; 94-46 overall)
2012 record: 9-4 (6-2 in Mid-American Conference, tied for second in West)
Look back: Ball State captured only its third winning season in the past decade when the Cardinals won nine games in 2012. The offense saw tremendous growth under second-year coach Pete Lembo as Ball State ranked second in the Mid-American Conference in scoring (33.6 points per game), right behind eventual conference champion Northern Illinois. The Cardinals only two conference losses were to Kent State and NIU, teams that went on to play in the league title game.
Offensive starters returning: 7
Offensive starters lost: 4
Defensive starters returning: 6
Defensive starters lost: 5
Key losses: LB Travis Freeman, LB Tony Martin, NT Brandon Newman, FS Jarrett Swaby, C Dan Manick, G Kitt O'Brien, T Austin Holtz, P Scott Kovanda
Top returnees: QB Keith Wenning, RB Jahwan Edwards, WR Willie Snead, WR Jamill Smith, TE Zane Fakes, CB Eric Patterson, CB Jeffery Garrett, DE Jonathan Newsome
Strengths: Ball State had the second-best offense in the Mid-American Conference last season with the group averaging 457 yards per game. As a junior, quarterback Keith Wenning set several career and school marks while completing 65 percent of his passes for 3,095 yards and 24 TDs. … Joining him in the backfield is running back Jahwan Edwards, who rushed for a team-high 1,410 yards and 14 TDs last season as the Cardinals had the fourth-best rushing offense in the conference. Along with Wenning and Edwards, Ball State returns every key position player on offense including the team's top three receivers: Willie Snead (1,148 yards/9 TDs), Jamill Smith (706/6) and Connor Ryan (357/3) along with tight end Zane Fakes (461/5). … The secondary, which struggled in 2012, returns three of its four starters from last season including corner backs Eric Patterson (61 tackles/2 INTs) and Jeffery Garrett (57 tackles).
Weaknesses: Defense is a concern as the Cardinals finished ranked 102nd in the country in total defense (462 yards per game). Six starters return from last season's group including three of four front seven led by defensive ends Jonathan Newsome (52 tackles/8.5 sacks) and Nick Miles (54 tackles). The team will have to make up for the loss of its top linebackers: Travis Freeman and Tony Martin, making the middle of the defense a concern. … The Cardinals led the league in fewest sacks allowed (14), but with only one returning starters on the offensive line – G Jordan Hansel – it will be tough to duplicate that type of effort.
Outlook: The program hasn't had back-to-back winning seasons since 2007-2008 under Brady Hoke. Consequently, that's the last time the team has played in back-to-back bowl games. The offense will have to carry the load while the defense looks to improve from last season. If everything starts to click, Ball State should compete for a MAC West title.

More than 4 million homes have been foreclosed on in the past five years. Now the foreclosure wave is pulling in more celebrities and the wealthy.
"We are seeing foreclosure activity on higher-end homes increase at a faster pace for the past two years," says Daren Blomquist, vice president ofRealtyTrac. From 2007 to 2011, foreclosure activity on homes worth more than a $1 million increased 489%, compared with a 105% increase on properties under $1 million, according to the Irvine, Calif.-based real estate information provider.
Forbes sifted through news reports, foreclosure filings and property listings to uncover examples of high-profile homeowners who face foreclosure or have at some point in the past year or so.
Five of them are published here. For the full slideshow, visit Forbes' site:
Family of Kristin Cavallari, Reality TV Personality
Property: Cavallari family home, Laguna Beach, CA, pictured at top
In February the home owned by the parents of "The Hills" star was reclaimed by the bank in a public auction for roughly 50% less than it had been listed for in 2009. The 7,100-square-foot waterfront home touts dry and wet saunas, a yoga studio and Feng Shui certified design. The bank-owned property found a buyer in July.
Property: Janice Place, Beverly Hills, CA
In 2009 the pop star bought a $6.9 million 8,520-square-foot contemporary and then flooding caused "extensive damage," according to its subsequent listing for $4.5 million, as is. The singer defaulted on the home, selling it as a short sale earlier this year to a buyer who ultimately paid more than the asking price.
Property: Southeast Federal Highway, Hobe Sound, FL
The "Smokey and the Bandit" star allegedly failed to pay his $1.2 million mortgage for two years. It was listed as a short sale for $5 million -- a third of his purchase price. The waterfront estate boasts 12,500 square feet, a helipad and yacht dockage.
Property: Bella Collina mansion, Lake County, Fla.
In October, Sun Trust Bank filed foreclosure papers alleging that comedian Chris Tucker owed $4.4 million on the 10,000-square-foot mansion he had purchased at the market high. It finally sold in a short sale earlier this year. The "Rush Hour" star also reportedly owes the IRS $11.5 million in back taxes.
Property: Madonna Lane, La Habra, CA
The foreclosure process on the 2,445-square-foot house of the reality TV star was finalized in June, with the bank repossessing the property in an auction that produced no bids. The first default notice was filed on the Orange County abode in late 2011. Suleman, who became a household name after giving birth to octuplets, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in May.

text: Curt Arens Archives Email Author Preventing Farm Fires Husker Home Place When our local fire department held an open house for Fire Prevention Week, it was more than smoke-filled fun and water games. Published on: October 12, 2011 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Blog RSS Permalink Print Our local volunteer fire department joined thousands of others nationwide in hosting an open house to help families in the community prevent fires and accidents. WATER PRESSURE: My son Zac enjoyed handling the big fire hose, with a little help from long-time, veteran firemen, Doc J.W. Carlson. For my kids, it was fun and games. They were allowed to crawl on their hands and knees through the "smoke house," a smoke and fire simulator, learning why it was important to stay low when exiting a smoke-filled burning building. They took a grip on a huge water hose and had water target practice, just as firemen might do to practice their techniques. But the open house conducted by Crofton's volunteer fire and rescue department this past week, in honor of National Fire Prevention Week, had nothing to do with fun and games. It was all serious business. This same group of volunteers had a busy week, not only in education, but in actual fire fighting. High winds, extremely low humidity and about a month without measurable precipitation caused a high fire danger all last week. Local firemen and rescue squad members responded to several major fires, which eventually burned up machinery and several hundred acres. They helped out neighboring departments when the mutual aid call came. They were busy folks. So we can imagine that they are quite anxious in helping local residents prevent fires at their open house. (Learn more about preventing combine fires.) Local volunteer firemen, folks we see every day in our community, hosted a large crowd of parents and children at the open house, not just to show off shining red fire trucks and high tech rescue equipment. They did this to save lives. And it works. ON BOARD: Local EMT, Katie Tramp, demonstrates how volunteer emergency medical technicians might treat an injured person. Girl in the blue watching the demo is my youngest daughter, Taylor. I cannot forget when I was in Kindergarten, waiting in the house for my Dad to drive me to the school bus in the morning, when I looked out the window and saw smoke rolling from the hog barn. Dad was in there, feeding sows and baby pigs. Frantic, I told my mother what was happening. She called the fire department. Moments later, my Dad burst through the hog house door carrying a huge pile of burning straw that had caught fire from a heat lamp. By the time the firemen arrived, the fire had been extinguished, but Dad was glad that day that our local fire department was available. That incident reminded me of many safety messages about fire prevention that were etched in my brain by my parents and at programs like our local open house. On the farm, fire hazards are numerous, so safety takes on special significance. Here are a few farm fire prevention tips gleaned from Nebraska Forest Service publications handed out at our local open house. 1) Clean up and get rid of trash, old furniture and papers. 2) Inspect electric wiring, grain dryer controllers and fuses and replace worn wiring. 3) Keep ordinary wiring and lighting away from wet areas. 4) Make sure your well pump is on a separate, dependable electrical circuit. 5) There is no smoking around chemicals, flammables and stored combustibles, and make sure everyone knows it. 6) Fuel storage should be designed to prevent any fires from spreading to other buildings. 7) Always refuel equipment out of doors, away from open flames or sparks. 8) Keep stock tanks and water ponds accessible for fire departments to use if a fire ever started up. 9) Check lightning protection and grounding. 10) Bottled gas, welding gas and oxygen should be securely fastened to firm support 11) Chimneys should be kept in good repair. 12) Clear grass and weeds from around buildings and farm structures. 13) Do not park vehicles in tall, dry vegetation. 14) Keep fire extinguishers handy in buildings and on machinery. 15) Make a fire prevention plan for the farm and home and educate family members about the plan. 16) Seek assistance from local fire prevention personnel when planning and building new structures on the farm. 17) If fire breaks out, do not attempt to fight it before calling the fire department. It is what they are trained to do, so call them immediately.

Former Blues man believes the Belgian is joining the right club
Eden Hazard has revealed that he spoke to Lille team-mate Joe Cole about his former side Chelsea.
The Blues have announced that the Belgian will join the club in July, after they agreed a fee, thought to be around £32million, with the Ligue 1 outfit.
Hazard is confident he will adapt quickly, believing playing in the French league has stood him good stead for a career in the Premier League.
"People tend to talk about the French league as if it's not of a high standard, but I disagree. I think it's one of the best leagues in Europe, there are some very strong teams, particularly in defence, it's always difficult to score goals," he admits.
"The biggest differences will be in the stadiums and atmospheres, and the fact that overall, players will be technically better.
"I spoke to Joe Cole and what he said above all was that Chelsea was the right club for me. As somebody who loves the club himself, he said he could really see me in the shirt, so when I see him next I'll tell him he was right."

onsidering a career in Speech-Language Pathology?
Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology Program
) at Jacksonville University (JU) is being designed for those students planning careers as speech-language pathologists with a primary goal to develop professionals who are knowledgeable and skilled in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of speech, voice, swallowing, language, and cognitive disorders with emphasis on the practice of medical speech-language pathology. Under the direction of experienced faculty, students will gain the skills needed to assess and treat individuals with diverse needs.
A MS SLP is generally required for students looking to become speech-language pathologists. Speech-language pathologists can work in schools, hospitals and private health offices and diagnose, treat and prevent a variety of communication, speech, and language disorders.
Currently, JU is now offering the prerequisite courses in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD). These prerequisite courses are needed for students to meet the general course requirements prior to application to a MS SLP program.
Students who hold a bachelor's degree in a field that is not in CSD, speech-language pathology, or the equivalent, must complete these prerequisite courses before they begin graduate work in speech-language pathology regardless of the institution they attend for graduate school.
These new JU undergraduate CSD courses will combine face to face interaction with faculty with distance learning modules starting this spring semester 2014. The department of CSD offers interested students the following:
